Guy Fieri At UNLV’s Chef-Artist Series

This year’s event featured one of UNLV’s own — Food Network Star Guy Fieri — who returned to host and showcase the efforts of numerous UNLV Hotel School students as they strutted their stuff to an appreciative crowd of Las Vegas’s finest and foodiest movers and shakers.

The point of this yearly soiree — introduced and overseen by UNLV professor Dr. Pat Moreo — is to teach and display what our University’s finest have learned about the “art” of fine food and service.

All of this took place a month ago, but it happened in the midst of the Best Food Week Ever for Las Vegas, so ELV’s staff is just now getting around to posting the snaps. As you’ll see from the pics, the event was top drawer, thanks in no small part to Fieri — who was a good sport as he spent the day working with chefs and servers alike; helping everything to gel — just like his hair.

 

Hot Hosts (and Hostess) Watch – Restaurant Charlie

Nicholas ain’t exactly ELV’s cup of meat, but according to The Food Gal and Julia Mandeville (The Official Fiance of Hugh Alexander Curtas — The Official Number Two Son Of ELV), he’s one cute and sexy dude.

And in the spirit of objectification for which he is known, ELV also features Carrie (a looker in her own right) and Ryan (yet another sexy dude — we’re told), all of whom manage and grace the front of the house at Restaurant Charlie.

Alcoholic Beverages In Salt Lake City!

We’re shocked….Shocked!

Eating Las Vegas thought all they did up there was get Kool-Aid-ed and cookie’d up whenever a good time was at hand, but as this video shows, there’s some nifty wine to be bought there if you ever decide to cut loose and ignore the preachings of this guy.

Thanks to Greg Thilmont (An Official Friend Of ELV, and now a SLC food-writer-in-residence) for keeping in touch and opening our eyes.
